Title:Mine Are Spectacular

Author:Janice Kaplan

Janice Kaplan the writer of The Botox Diaries has written another great book. This story is about three women and their friendship. Kate is a Dermatologist who is famous for her practice and her activities in the bedroom. Berni is the former Hollywood agent who is looking for new opportunities. Then there is Sarah who is engaged to be married about to inherit a new family. Sara has the courage to move forward after her ex-husband comes back into the picture and a possible television career. These women are all in their forties and experiencing new beginnings. The message of this book is that anything is possible no matter what they age. I really enjoyed this book. I would read another book by this author.

Title:Hissy Fit

Author:Mary Kay Andrews

This book is a great read. I really enjoyed the book and found I could hardly put it down. Mary Kay Andrews wrote a great story. Here comes the story of Keeley Murdock and the shock she experiences at the rehearsal dinner the night before her wedding. The shock is enough to cause a huge hissy fit which Keeley takes out on her fiancée in front of most of the town. She gains a client the next day for her interior design business while she finds her business shunned by the rest of the town. The only business comes from a client she met after leaving the party that night and he gives her the task to have his home ready by Christmas.
